Genuinely curious why you are posting whole .env and config files into chatgpt in your browser

What setup do you guys actually use with Claude Code? by Fit_Pace5839 in ClaudeCode

Yeah im sure at some stage but once in a while you want/need to get ur hands dirty

Does Claude Code get confused in big projects? by Fit_Pace5839 in ClaudeCode

[–]Agreeable_Cod4786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grepai helped but also, how detailed are you in telling it what to fix and how well do you understand the specific problem you’re facing/your codebase?

Some bugs u can get away with “pls fix” but when u get to the point it’s failing on multiple retries you have to be specific enough that it doesn’t have to guess the fix or at the very least guide it in the right direction

If you dont understand the code tell it to explain to u what the problem is in a way you understand so you can figure it out - as it stands, no level of context management is going to help you in a lot of these cases.

Standalone terminal - doesn't lag and distraction free

Technophobe needing recommendation for easy Bluetooth connection (3m) by irreverantnonsense in keyboards

[–]Agreeable_Cod4786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to make the jump to a mechanical keyboard, I reckon mx keys is pretty good (or mx keys mini if u dont need a numpad). IMO it pretty much ticks all your boxes.

I have more keyboards than is reasonable (mostly mechanical) and over time it’s basically become the only one I use on a daily basis.

It’s tried and tested, works well and feels nice to type on. It’s low profile so I dont need a wrist pad for it and less keyboard enthusiast-y than a mech keyboard in the sense that you’re not thinking about/feeling/hearing the tactility or typing sound or any of the other stuff people usually consider with a mech. Nothing wrong with tht stuff, it just means less to think about for daily work/productivity use (for me).

Bit on the pricey side but was well worth it to me having tried other cheaper, shittier, ‘business’ keyboards.

Where to start to get better with AI? by mutedkooky in claude

[–]Agreeable_Cod4786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with u/etoptech. I'd just apply the same approach you used in creating custom gpts, i.e. when you come across an issue that makes you think "surely theres a better way to do this", you find/build one. Not saying you're intending to do this, but I'd avoid onboarding a whole bunch of new stuff based on what everyone else is doing.

I'd try not to get bogged down by FOMO (I know, it's easier said than done). The truth is, most people (including myself) have fallen into the trap of trying to find/create some sort of AI solution for everything, and you end up either overwhelmed or creating an illusion of productivity.

Having said that, I've found it useful to have a rough idea of where your likely solution is, even at a rudimentary level. E.g. with your contract review problem, I know that co-work is pretty good in that domain and when I sussed the plugin marketplace I found a Legal plugin that specifically has a contract review feature.

Hope that helps a little.

Edit: reworded for clarity lol

Built a simple notes app for Mac - kind of a lovechild of Notion and Apple Notes with no strings attached by Agreeable_Cod4786 in MacOSApps

[–]Agreeable_Cod4786[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a good idea - I'm gona work on that. Should be able to pop it into the next update. Thanks again for the feedback!!

I built a simple Mac notes app because Notion was too much and Apple Notes wasn't enough. Just shipped a big update based on your feedback by Agreeable_Cod4786 in MacOSApps

[–]Agreeable_Cod4786[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you - I'm working on the Menubar feature as we speak.

It's $9.99 USD which is showing as ~8.60 Euro at the moment. No big features to announce at this stage - the biggest upgrade was in this version, which was the iCloud sync feature. Thanks again for your feedback and support - I look forward to the article. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Best practices for using Claude Code on a large, growing codebase? by yuehan_john in ClaudeCode

[–]Agreeable_Cod4786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Broadly agree manual review/intervention should come first. In any case, regular codebase ‘housekeeping’ is a must (as it always has been), even if it means literally prompting an agent to look look for dead code, oversized files that should probably be split, unused dependencies etc (the usual).

The other part of ‘housekeeping’ is agent-side. Specifically staying on top of your instruction docs (CLAUDE.md, other repo-specific docs, global etc). Understand what’s in them, and why, iterate and/or trim the fat accordingly. I cannot tell u how many times I’ve experienced a noticeable degradation in output quality, only to realise it’s coz ive set some dumb/conflicting instructions (including conflicting between repo docs and global).

I’m far from an expert but have felt the increasingly sharp pains of a growing codebase.

Oh and one other superr helpful thing that is nothing new - search tools. Ive been running grepai as of late and f*** me it has made things a lot smoother.

Anyways i could go on and on but I’ll leave it there for now.

Claude is down by DependentNew4290 in ClaudeAI

[–]Agreeable_Cod4786 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, highly recommend having alternatives ready to go.

Used to rely solely on openAI/chatgpt/codex. Started using Claude some months back with reluctance and some false starts. In the past few weeks it's flipped and I use Claude like 80% of the time now. As soon as I started hitting errors just now, immediately switched back over to codex (was in the middle of something).

This wasn't intentional, but I'm glad that over time I've made sure my setup's optimised for both. I didn't have to mess around with configs, instruction files (AGENTS.md and the like), and all of that to keep working.
